The Property Owners' Association Act oversees the creation, management, authority, and functions of the HOAs in Georgia. It's important to note here that associations can be formed under the POAA or using common law principles. In such cases, this act will not apply.
While HOAs have a certain freedom from First Amendment restrictions as non-state actors, that freedom has to be applied in a fair manner and should err on the side of allowing owners the right to speak freely amongst themselves.
Board resolutions exist only to clarify the governing documents or expound on them. In some cases, they may also add to the rules, but they can never contradict the HOA's CC&Rs and bylaws. In contrast, HOA amendments are changes to the governing documents.
Most state laws and governing documents require a vote to amend the bylaws and covenants of an association. However, for changes to the operating rules, the HOA board does not typically need to secure a vote from the membership. Enacting or changing a rule usually only requires a vote of approval from the board itself.
Hold a vote The threshold needed for enacting the change will depend on your state's laws and your association's governing documents. In Georgia, association members must approve any amendments by two-thirds of the votes cast or a majority of the voting power, whichever is less.
